US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited Kerrville, Texas, after catastrophic floods killed 120 people and left 161 missing. Meeting with first responders and grieving families, Trump also stood alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The visit comes as criticism mounts over whether authorities did enough to warn residents ahead of the disaster. Last weekend’s torrential storms dumped months’ worth of rain within hours, submerging homes, roads, and vehicles across central Texas. As river levels surged, thousands were forced to evacuate. The president is expected to face sharp scrutiny over the federal and local response to the tragedy. (PC: BBC)
